3 kites I have in mind in order of preference

21m Speed 3Core Riot 19mOzone Zephyr 17m

without wanting to comment on any of the 3 above mentioned kites, because they are all good, have a look at the 16m Nitro v2 from switchkites, which certaily will prove its place among the 3 kites you mentioned above and that for 890$ KO bar is 275$.so you will have money left to buy yourself some other cool stuff have a look herewww.switchkites.com

Have you tested the Nitro 16 V2 against any other light wind kite?

I had looked at the Nitro 16 V1 because of the cheap price, but I read mixed reviews.

I purchased my 2011 Dyno 18m in October 2011 new for just over $900 kite only, so $890 isn't too amazing of a price.

I just pointed out to the person who asked the question, to have a look at other possibilities, and not just the big brandnames, daring to look outside the box, makes you more aware of todays posibilities, but I have no problem with north or any other brand, just wanted to add my 2 cents without too much fuzz. .I had looked at the Nitro 16 V1 because of the cheap price, but I read mixed reviews.I just adviced to LOOK at the Nitro V2, did nowere mention the V1 which is not sold anymore the V2 has improved on all the critics, but you will find critics on every kite in the market I purchased my 2011 Dyno 18m in October 2011 new for just over $900 kite only, so $890 isn't too amazing of a price.]Which is a pretty amazing price, if you look today for a price like that on a 2011 dyno 18, I could not find it at your price not even for a 2011, or did you buy it used?
